Breaking the Fast

For those who have characteristically lived the unnatural way of meat, milk, refined and devitalized food, it may be best to change over as follows, gradually adopting the raw fruit, nut, and vegetable diet:

FIRST DAY:
All Day: Several 8 oz. glasses of fresh orange juice (as desired.) Drink slowly!

SECOND DAY:
All Day/ Morning: Several 8 oz. glasses of orange juice—with extra water, if needed.

Afternoon: vegetable soup (no canned soup) as follows:

RECIPE FOR VEGETABLE SOUP
Use several kinds of vegetables, perhaps one or two kinds of legumes, potatoes, celery, carrots, green
vegetable tops, onion, etc. Dehydrated vegetables or vegetable soup powders may be added for extra
flavor. Okra or okra powder, chili, curry, cayenne (red pepper), tomatoes, green peppers, and zucchini
squash may be included to good advantage. Brown rice may be used, but no meat or meat stock. Other
spices may be added (delicately) for flavor. Use salt delicately as a limited amount of salt is necessary.
* Learn to enjoy the natural flavor of the vegetables. The less cooking the better.

Evening: Soup- using the broth mostly, although some of the vegetables may be eaten. Rye wafers (eaten sparingly) with the soup, but no bread or crackers.

THIRD DAY
Morning: orange juice
Afternoon: soup
Evening: Whatever is desired in the form of vegetables, salads, or fruit. *No meat, fish, or eggs; no bread, pastries, tea, coffee, or milk!

FOURTH DAY
Normal eating may be resumed.

* Best health will be retained if the morning meal consists of the lemonade or fruit juice: and, of course, if a strictly fruit, vegetable, seed and berry diet is followed.

*If, after eating is resumed, distress or gas occurs, it is suggested that the lemonade diet be continued for several more days until the system is ready for food.

Shopping List

As stated in the book, “Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days” by Peter Glickman, the following items should be obtained in order to follow the diet accordingly.

• About 40 large lemons or 80 limes or a combination of both (organic preferred.) *Only enough for 5 days, as they spoil.
• At least 80 fl. oz. Organic Grade B Maple Syrup (usually sold in 32 fl. oz. bottles = 2.5 bottles)
• 1/2 lb. non-iodized Sea Salt (Light Grey Celtic Sea Salt is recommended)
• 2.5 oz. Cayenne Pepper
• 1 box herbal laxative tea bags (Yogi Smooth Move, or Get Regular is recommended)
• At least 5 gal. (640 fl. oz.) spring or purified water * NOT fluorinated!
• 3 gal + 1 pt. spring or purified water (400 fl. oz.) for the salt water flush (SWF) & cup of laxative tea

[Quantities are based on a 10-day period w/8 glasses per day.]

Salt Water Flush (SWF)

Directions: prepare a full quart of luke-warm water and add two level (rounded for the Canadian quart) teaspoons of uniodized sea salt. Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt ans water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach. The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur. The salt water has the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the digestive system.
